I'm going to say something that no one else has the courage to say, something that might get me CANCELED, but the truth needs to be spoken aloud.

The Penguin is a way better mob show than the Sopranos was.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Literally cannot get more pathetic. Turning off comments is a nice touch, too.

Monday 6th October 2025

Dear supporters of Bitmap Books,

Although I stand by the fact that Moses’ comments were ill-advised and insensitive, the whole thing blew up and was made much bigger than it needed to be. Moses has publicly apologised for any offence caused, as has the original poster of the comments who did not intend to cause this much trouble. I do not feel that this warrants an author losing his livelihood and ruining years of hard work to produce the book.

Despite multiple accusations to the contrary, Moses freely agreed to donate his royalties to charity. There was no coercion from me, however we both recognise that due to an increasingly stressful situation that decisions were rushed on both sides. I’m pleased to say that Moses and I have spoken again today, we stand together, and have agreed that he will receive 100% of his royalties.

Maybe I was hasty in my response, and I’m happy to admit to that. At the time I sincerely thought I was doing the right thing to diffuse an increasingly difficult situation. I will commit to donating all company profits from this first print run to the charity, Special Effect.

The bottom line is that is that Moses has apologised for his original comments, and will now be paid the royalties that are rightfully his.

Moses and myself have received a large amount of personal abuse and threats over the past few days. We hope that this statement will bring some closure to what has happened.

Sam Dyer, founder of Bitmap Books

These character names and descriptions of these faceless, nameless Sages from TotK feel so uninspired it almost feels like Nintendo asked ChatGPT to come up with Sage ideas.

Anti-hyped.

So, from my experience spending hours trying to unlock Act 3, you need to:

- get every Flea and move them to Pale Lake
- do 17 wishes, including a few "core ones"
- get a house from the bug in Belhart
- importantly, cause this is what was tripping me up - defeat the boss after you get the 3 songs
